At our new midweek program, The Harbor, kids rotate through a large group program, activity choices, and game stations. Because The Harbor is designed for families, we didn't want an entire family to have to miss in case one child had lots of homework on a particular Wednesday night.
So we've set aside a room for homework that allows kids a quiet space to work. Help is available from the adult volunteers in the room. Kids can also choose the homework room if they just want to bring a book to read.
The 4th-6th grade program begins at 6:00 up in Room B-203. The first thing kids do when arriving is sign up for their activity rotation (which runs 6:30-7:00). Kids needing to use the homework room should just sign-in on that clipboard, and then at 6:30 (after the large group program) go with the volunteers to that area. If they don't finish by 7:00 (when activity rotations end and game stations begin), they can stay until 7:30.
